Remove Stubborn Fat With Our Non-Invasive CoolSculpting® Procedure

Why Choose CoolSculpting®?

When you want to get rid of stubborn body fat, and diet and exercise aren’t working, CoolSculpting® may be the answer.

What Is CoolSculpting®?

CoolSculpting® is a non-invasive, non-surgical body sculpting procedure that freezes fat away permanently. Unlike liposuction, there is no long recovery period, meaning you can get on with your life quickly and immediately return to normal activities.

Here’s why CoolSculpting® is so innovative: it contours your body with no surgery or downtime. Over 6 million CoolSculpting® treatments have been administered worldwide, allowing both women and men to shed stubborn fat and improve their view of themselves.

Are You A Candidate For CoolSculpting®?

CoolSculpting® is not designed for rapid or extreme weight loss. If you’ve tried diet and exercise, but still can’t shed your unwanted love handles, muffin top, double chin, or abdominal fat, you may be an ideal candidate for CoolSculpting®.

What Kind of Results Can You Expect?

Typically, you may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after your treatment. The most dramatic changes usually occur after eight weeks. But, your body will still flushing out fat cells for up to four to six months after treatment.

Depending on the area being treated, you may want to schedule follow-up treatments to increase effectiveness.
